Geno González Chico Gonzalez: A Tremendous Human Being Who Influence my Life. People like to say that “nobody knows what they have until they lose it,” and is exactly that happens with my brother Chico.

I. Estragon: So am I. Vladimir: We are happy. Estragon: We are happy. (Silence.) What do we do now, now that we are happy? Vladimir: Wait for Godot.( n1) An outbreak of happiness interrupts the otherwise bleak landscape of Waiting for Godot. Samuel Beckett's play, first produced in Paris during 1953, has justifiably become a classic of modern theatre. Neither comedy nor tragedy, but a mixture of both -- with ample quantities of clowning thrown in for good measure -- the whole becomes a vehicle

Commentary on 1 Samuel 3:1-10 [11-20] Beth L. Tanner | 3 Comments What does it mean to be called by God? Is it something that happens only to a few, or is it part of our lives as Christians?

Name: Course: Instructor: Date: It is primarily difficult to define Postmodernism literature due to its novelty in technique, versatile ideas, and its break from the traditional narrative writing.

In the years leading up to 1776, the British Parliament did very little

and the comments I have found about the play, I have come up with three hypotheses as to the meaning and theme. As I will explain my three hypotheses in my next few paragraphs, I would like to put forth my most accepted theory, and the answer that Samuel Beckett, the author of the play, put forth when questioned about the meaning of his strange little piece.
